How to Fix a Mistake on Your UK ETA Application

May 08, 2025

Don't stress—we're here to help.

Mistakes happen. Whether it’s a wrong name, a mistyped passport number, or a photo that doesn’t meet UK requirements, the good news is: you’re not alone—and we’ve got your back.

At AssistEntry, our team of specialists carefully reviews each application before it’s submitted to UK Authorities. Here's how we help fix common errors and protect your chances of approval.

Incorrect Name or Passport Number? Don’t Worry.

If you accidentally entered the wrong name, passport number, or birthdate—don’t panic.
Our AssistEntry agents thoroughly check all application details against your uploaded passport page. If we spot any inconsistencies, we correct them for you automatically. If we’re unsure, we’ll contact you before submission to ensure everything is 100% accurate.

Uploaded a Photo That Doesn’t Meet Requirements? We’ve Got You.

The UK ETA has strict rules for both your passport photo page and portrait photo. If your image is blurry, too dark, has glare, or doesn’t meet official guidelines, it could lead to a refusal.

But here’s the good news:
Our team of trained reviewers manually checks every photo you upload. If your photo doesn’t meet UK standards, we’ll reach out and guide you on how to upload a new one that does. No guessing. No worries.

Already Submitted with a Mistake?

If your ETA has already been submitted and approved with incorrect details, UK Authorities do not allow edits. But you can reapply with the correct information.

If that happens, contact us right away. While the UK ETA cannot be edited once submitted and approved, our team will handle submitting a new, corrected application for you to ensure everything is accurate moving forward.

Let AssistEntry Handle the Details

At AssistEntry, you don’t need to worry about getting everything perfect. Simply provide your information and documents, and our team will take it from there.

We carefully review every application to ensure:
✔️ Passport details are accurate
✔️ Personal information matches official documents
✔️ Travel details are correct
✔️ Uploaded photos meet official UK requirements

Even if you’ve made a mistake, there’s a good chance we’ll catch and correct it before submission—ensuring your application is accurate, compliant, and ready for approval.

Need help or think you made an error?
Reach out to us and we’ll take care of it.

Your UK ETA journey should be smooth—and with us, it will be.
